There was no WMD in Iraq. Iraq did not do 9-11. Iraq was no threat to the USA. The USA has lost respect all over the world. How can I hold my head up?

most african-american Marines who been in for 3 or more years busted down to private for some reason or another and to top it off, not getting paid for months at a time. we bought them personal hygiene items and also treated them for a nice time in town. and by the way, these busted down privates ran our radio section! they were the experts! on the other hand, i seen caucasian Marines make Sergeant in a year or less in our same unit. i wont say that this unit is a reflection of the Marine Corps as a whole but i do know, from my experience, an african-american person normally needs to kiss alot of a s s in order to reach sergeant and up. the Marine Corps is the only branch of the service that uses points, what they call a "cutting score" which in itself very elusive in order to get promoted.my question is for higher ranking Marines, why do u give african-american Marines a harder time to move up the ranks than a caucasian equivolent? and why so many have Article 15's?

I was wrongfully fired from my last employer. we had a conflict over wages and overtime that they said they didn't have to pay me for but when I called the wage dept (after several request for them to pay me the 400. they ripped me off) they were in the wrong. a few months later they were ordered to pay all the employees that they had ripped off in the past 2 years. My check for back wages was dated for the 26th and i was fired on the 27th. They knew they couldn't fire me legally for calling the wage dept so they made up a reason (gossiping). They could not say that I was not doing my job or anything in the wrong. The thing is I have proof that i was not around (home on medical leave) when the so called gossiping had taken place.

Harry Reid voted to *BAN* the late term abortion procedure:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial-Birth_Abortion_Ban_Act

When the Supreme Court upheld the ban, Reid said,

"I would only say that this is the only decision a lot of us wish that Alito weren't there and O'Connor were there."

What is Reid's position?

Which Harry Reid do you support, and why?

Whether man made global warming is real or not is a not a political issue, it is a scientific issue. If you want the truth as best as current science can give you are supposed to trust the scientific consensus on the subject not a minority of doubters.

There is a scientific consensus on man made global warming. This consensus is not an opinion, but a conclusion based on OBSERVATIONS, EXPERIMENTATION, MODELING, and (((PEER REVIEW))).

I looked for all the well established scientific organizations engaged in geologic, climatic, and meteorologic research and their official statements on man made global warming. This is what I have so far.

(Stay tuned for official statments from NASA's Goddard Space Institute, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research.)

They think there are liberals behind everything. Anytime the facts don't come their way, they accuse them of a liberal bias.

It has become so bad they won't even believe scientific organizations like the National Academy of Science or government organizations like the Treasury Department, much less the "liberal media", the "activist judges", the professors, teachers, academia, polling companes, and mainstream historians and economists.

I can cite all the well established engaged in geologic, climatic, and meteorologic research and how they have offical statements in support of man made global warming.

What will cons do? They will accuse them of being liars and socialists who want to destroy capitalism, OR that they are liars and capitalists just looking for the global warming money.

In logging into Yahoo.ca this morning, this was a headline. The article stated that in a study, it was determined that the healthcare in Canada was - in some cases - better than that in the US. They were looking at the quality of care and the outcomes.

This is not to bash the US, but I'm hoping that it will shed a light on the possibilities of national healthcare.

Bernard Goldberg's new book 'Crazies to the Left of Me-Wimps To The Right' says that Liberals suffer from FDS .
Fox Derangement Syndrome !!

Now don't blame me.. . .I'm just quoting one of your Former buddies .
He says that when he polled Liberals for his book research, he found that many Liberals just cringe and go bazonkers when asked about their opinions about FoxNews . Most interesting was when he then asked them if they watch it.. . . and most don't . So , he ponders, just how the heck can they claim to be informed when they don't even watch it ? He goes on to say that whenever he watches FoxNews , and if a political topic is being discussed, he sees a Conservative and a Liberal involved in the discussion . But Liberals only see a Conservative . Hmmmmmm.. . . .isn't that what we've been telling the Liberals on here ?
He goes on to say that he left the Left, after they began their turn to anger and hatred . Hmmmmm. . .. . isn't that what we've been telling the Liberals on here ?

Because atleast one of them doesn't. Four degrees celsius in average global temperature seperates an ice age from an interglacial (warmer) period. An average global temperature takes into account all the temperatures at a location from the beginning of the year till the end. It combines winter and summer type temperatures together. IT IS DIFFERENT THEN ONE SINGLE DAILY TEMPERATURE.

Ice age and interglacial ice core data
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/carbdiox.html

"Look at it this was, if it weren't for global warming last weeks temperatures would have been 16 degrees colder than normal as opposed to 15."

The liberals tell me this everyday here. Is it true ? should we just give our country to the peaceful nations of the mid-east so that they can wipe the Christians and Jews from the country?
We must give up or guns and our freedom of speech and forget that we fought to win this country. We must forget the blood of our fathers and give all to those we defeated because we had no right to live in the first place. We are slime we are evil spoilers of the world.

Clearly this guy was influenced by jihadist behavior. The pre-suicide video. His references to martyrs. His condemnation of Western decadence. His hatred of Whites, Christians and women.


But he also spoke of his hatred of the rich and the poses he struck in his video and the props that he used were right out of the violent "award winning" Asian movie "Oddboys".


Where did he get his Class Envy? Who filled his head with such intolerance? Was it Republicans or the Democrat fringe? And where did he get the idea that you act out your anger by killing as many innocent bystanders as possible before killing yourself? The NRA or Hollywood and muslim terrorists?

I live in MI, he lives in Alaska he has had nothing to do with the kids and only pays child support for a week or two after they catch up with him then he quits and gets a new job. He is fully in support of terminating his rights. I realize I will no longer receive any child support and am fine with that. I want to be the only one responsible for them and do not want to have another male adopt them. Is this possible and can anyone recommend a good lawyer in the Metro Detroit area?
